HYDROLOGIC STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE  SPOKANE, WA
205 PM PDT MON MAY 13 2013

...AREA RIVERS SHOULD CREST EARLY THIS WEEK AND THEN
SLOWLY RECEDE. THE RISING WATER HAS BEEN DUE TO RAPID SNOW
MELT FROM THE UNSEASONABLY WARM WEATHER LAST WEEK. COOLER
WEATHER IS EXPECTED THIS WEEK ALONG WITH SHOWERY
CONDITIONS. WHILE THE SHOWERY MAY CONTRIBUTE TO SOME MINOR RISES
ON THE RIVERS THIS SHOULD BE MORE THAN OFFSET BY THE REDUCED
SNOW MELT...
